The life story of the great actor
As he approaches the age of 90, Mario Adorf looks back on an adventurous life full of triumphs at the theater, in movies and on TV. The result of numerous, intense conversations between Adorf and the author Tim Pröse, this book takes stock of the life of a major artist and one of the greatest actors of the century. Mario Adorf talks intimately about his work and life, particularly in recent years, about moments of joy and disappointment, about Germany, Italy and France, about the profession of acting, about the women in his life, about his friends and colleagues, from Helmut Dietl and Götz George to Bernd Eichinger. A convinced European and cosmopolitan who lived through World War II, he has been watching the current resurgence of nationalism and racism with alarm. And, last but not least, he speaks serenely and soberly about the finite nature of his own life, and about what passes and what remains.
